Farali Dosa

You can’t imagine my delight when I found out about this word, ‘farali’. It means ‘fasting’ and in our unique Indian way, fasting also has an awesome spread of dishes. I had always heard of ‘vrat’ or ‘upvas’ for fasting menu but never ‘farali’. Guess, that is why we do a mega marathon to find such deeper meanings in life. So suddenly my options for the alphabet F grew by leaps and bounds and I was actually spoilt for choice. Who would have thought?

Another interesting option I came across was ‘French Fries Dosa’ which is a popular dish in the Mumbai street food world. I was very tempted to do it but I was dissuaded by the fact that it involves too much deep frying and my Tamizh heart did not allow me to try combining dosai with french fries. So here we are with Farali dosa.

Today there are so many farali recipes and even I learnt about the word today. This is why we take part in BM. The dosas look so good and perfect for fasting. I would really like to know more about the french fries dosa.

Faryali has been the star of the day ! F sure was hard to crack and Faryali seems to fit very well . The dosa looks lovely , though I would love to see the French fries Dosa too :)) greedy ? .. no just inquisitive :))

It’s raining farali flatbreads today! a wonderful dosa recipe, never tried making a farali one. Adding also rajgira flour is a good option. However, would have loved to see the French fries dosa recipe 🙂

Same picnch Sowmya! I just wrote down Farali and decided to finalize a dish later as I found so many choice for that word!! This dosa is being added to my list of dosas as I love to make something new and my family sort of expects it as well 😉

hahahaha I agree on the Mega BM giving us life lessons, I learned about farali couple of years back when I made a farali sweet…lol..these dosas look and sound fantastic..btw those french fries dosas sounds so yummy yaar, guess the Mumbaikars can think of anything with dosas..

I guess after the flatbread mega marathon it is time for all us to go on fasting and these recipes will come in handy for that day. I love this dosai, but I still can’t get over the French Fries dosai. I have to go and look into them now.
